According to Ericsson India Managing Director Nitin Bansal, the enhancement of ASIC-related R&D in the country would allow the company to capitalize on India's vast technological talent pool and boost its semiconductor design prowess. He also noted that the new facility would play a role in fortifying the country's growing semiconductor ecosystem.
Ericsson mentioned that this move is aligned with its long-term strategy of evolving its product portfolio, particularly through the advancement of the Ericsson Silicon platform. This proprietary platform is fundamental to producing high-performance, energy-efficient hardware for mobile networks, forming the technological foundation of its Radio System offerings.
The Ericsson Silicon suite, which includes System on a Chip (SoC) solutions, is specifically developed for mobile network applications and is deeply integrated across the company's product lines. It enables telecom service providers to fully utilise the capabilities of 5G while addressing present and future infrastructure requirements.
Ericsson currently operates multiple R&D centres in India located in Bengaluru, Chennai, and Gurugram. These facilities support innovation across various domains such as Transport, Packet Core, OSS, BSS, Cloud technologies, and increasingly, artificial intelligence. The launch of the ASIC unit further amplifies Ericsson's contribution to India's telecom technology advancements.
